My Photo

My Photo

I have a photograph. It was taken on my uncle's camera in 2011. A photo of us - Mum Dad and me. I am little, about 6. There we are , standing on our boat, full of rods fish and crays.
We had travelled up by my dad’s boat, sitting on the sort of soft dry blooded seat in the front of my dad’s ‘Senator boat’ to watch the sea and an island slip by. In front of us is an island Bare Island. On the right side of us there is 21 nautical miles of clear water, and to the left of us there is two big mountains with a wide water inlet, behind us is my dad’s 4 stroke motor  and a big peninsula to somewhere.
